Abstract

Pseudotumor cerebri is a neurological condition in which patients develop headaches and visual loss that may not be successfully treated with medication. In these cases surgery is indicated, and decompression of the optic nerve is the preferred surgical procedure. We report a case of decompression of the optic nerve performed through an endonasal endoscopic approach in a patient with pseudotumor cerebri where enhancement of visual acuity was successful. To our knowledge, no previous investigators have reported this approach to treat pseudotumor cerebri.

摘要

假性脑瘤是一种神经系统疾病，患者会出现头痛和视力丧失，药物治疗可能无法取得成功。在这些情况下需要进行手术，视神经减压是首选的手术方法。我们报告了一例通过鼻内镜入路对假性脑瘤患者进行视神经减压的病例，该患者视力提高取得成功。据我们所知，此前尚无研究者报道过用这种方法治疗假性脑瘤。
